Once you do the assessment and get your results its best for you to reach out to them. Somebody else responded with the directions on how to do it.

Apply here. 
Take assessment when provided. It's super easy and takes about 15 min. 
When you receive the results (emailed), send over your resume, cover letter, assessment results, and 3 preferred unit specialties over to: [email protected]

Hope that helps!
